Karen Jane Allen
Rain-soaked Yearning: A Cinematic Love Quest
Lyrics
It's been raining for a week now
Expressing a prolonged period of rain
And I can't get you off my mind
Unable to stop thinking about someone
You're stuck in my head like a movie
Comparing the person to a persistent image in the mind
You get a bad review from me this time
Giving a negative evaluation of the person
Now I'm sitting on the couch at 3 a.m.
Describing a late-night setting on the couch
Drinking pizza, eating beer, watching Raiders of the Lost Ark
Humorous description of unconventional consumption
Dreaming about a perfect girl
Imagining an ideal girl and reflecting on a past relationship
And a girl who broke my heart
Referencing a past heartbreak
I just want a girl like Marion from Indiana Jones
Expressing a desire for a specific type of girl
A leading lady with long dark hair and blue eyes
Describing desired physical attributes
And freckles all around her nose
Additional details about the ideal girl's appearance
She'd like adventure, could hold her drink
Describing desired personality traits
Yeah that's the girl for me
Affirming the ideal girl's suitability
That scene where she's in the white dress, Woooo
Expressing admiration for a specific movie scene
She brings me to my knees
Impact of the scene on the speaker
And she'd love me like the movies
Desiring a love reminiscent of movie romances
But girls like that just don't exist
Expressing skepticism about finding such love
Karen Jane Allen is that actress's name
Identifying the actress associated with the ideal
And over here it's still raining
Reiterating the ongoing rain as a backdrop
I remember the first time we watched that movie together
Recalling a shared movie-watching experience
You were so sweet on me
Reflecting on the sweetness of the past relationship
I shoulda known you wouldn't last forever
Realizing the impermanence of the relationship
And my friends are going out tonight
Contrasting the speaker's choice with friends' plans
But I'm hanging out with Harrison Ford
Choosing to spend time with a movie character (Harrison Ford)
Within you were by my side
Recalling a time when the person was supportive
And you still called me yours
Highlighting continued possessiveness
I just want a girl like Marion from Indiana Jones
Repeating the desire for a specific type of girl
A leading lady with long dark hair and blue eyes
Reiterating physical attributes of the ideal
And freckles all around her nose
Emphasizing additional physical details
She'd like adventure, could hold her drink
Repeating desired personality traits
Yeah that's the girl for me
Affirming the suitability of the ideal girl
That scene where she's in the white dress Woooo
Expressing admiration for a specific movie scene (repeated)
She brings me to my knees
Reiterating the impact of the scene
And she'd love me like the movies
Desiring a love reminiscent of movie romances (repeated)
But girls like that just don't exist
Expressing skepticism about finding such love (repeated)
Karen Jane Allen is that actress's name
Identifying the actress associated with the ideal (repeated)
And over here it's still raining
Reiterating the ongoing rain as a backdrop (repeated)
